Areas of expertise

• Development of methodologies for the measurement of blood-retinal barrier (BRB) permeability in the human retina in vivo for fluorescein.
• Development of indirect, non-invasive, measurements of the Blood-Retinal Barrier based on Optical Coherence Tomography.
• Multimodal Macular Mapping. The gathering of information obtained through various imaging techniques in order to establish a correlation between various parameters of the retina providing this way a global vision of the ongoing alterations as well as its space-time relation.
• Processing of medical images. The application of the most recent processing/analytical techniques of medical images to the various types of eye fundus imaging, offers new perspectives on the subject, facilitating registration and follow-up in the daily medical practice.
